Stop the Presses, The A's Take a Holliday
Dear Matt,Welcome to Oakland, California. I know you haven't played for any other team since being drafted by the Rockies, but don't worry. There's nothing to do in Colorado anyways. You'll love it in the American League. Since you're the boss of the team now, you can take a day off if you want ...

The answer to that question should be pretty self-explanatory: the guy's a damn good player. Matt Holliday's an All-Star, an MVP candidate. He's going to help any lineup in which he's hitting. He's going to play good defense in left field and even steal you a good amount of bases. And [...]

After the recent GM meetings, the Phillies and Cardinals were proclaimed to be the leaders in the race for a Matt Holliday rental. Turns out the A's nabbed him:The A's are closing in on a deal with the Rockies that would send star outfielder Matt Holliday to Oakland from Colorado, SI.com has ...
No Holliday for Cardinals!
Any deal that would send Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday to the St. Louis Cardinals appears to be dead, according to published reports in two newspapers Sunday night.
When asked about a possible trade for the All-Star slugger, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "That one's not happening -- at all." Mozeliak told the paper...

Holliday has reportedly been traded to the Oakland A's for what appears to be a group of 3 or 4 solid prospects. The A's and Rockies make perfect trading partners since the A's have been accumulating young talent, the exact thing the Rockies have been looking for...

Cardinals Make Offer For Holliday
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Cardinals offered Ryan Ludwick, Skip Schumaker, and Mitchell Boggs to the Rockies for Matt Holliday. I can't see why the Rockies wouldn't take this deal. Not only do they get an outfielder who could hit 30 homeruns, but they get two solid players who could start with the Rockies. Holliday, who hit 25 homeruns, would likely see his numbers drop...

Sports Illustrated reported it first. Matt Holliday is headed to Oakland and nobody knows what's coming back to Colorado in return. ESPN thinks that pitcher Greg Smith will be included in the deal, but the big news (other than Holliday being traded) is that no news is known about the deal, yet.As... ...

Holliday a Huge Upgrade for A’s
By Gary ArmidaWhile the Matt Holliday to the Oakland A's trade isn't official quite yet, sources say that the deal is as good as done (and, yes FCP now has some sources). The trade in its current state has the A's sending reliever Huston Street, outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, and lefty starter Greg ...
Holliday’s Road Leads To Huston Street
Well, when I woke up early this morning and wrote about the Cardinals deal disappearing, I figured we were in for a long winter of hot rumors, cold feet, and a whole lotta sound and fury signifying nothing.
We still could be a?" nothing is official just yet.A But as it stands right now, Matt Holliday [...]
Holliday deal done!, Street might be filpped to another team...
The Rockies have traded slugger Matt Holliday to the Athletics for closer Huston Street, left-handed starter Greg Smith and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, pending physicals by Oakland's players, according to a report in Tuesday's edition of the Denver Post.
According to the newspaper, Holliday will fly to Oakland on Tuesday to meet with club officials. Barring any unforeseen...

By now we've all heard the surprising news that Matt Holliday has been traded to the A's. The Rockies received in return closer Huston Street, left-hander Greg Smith and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.The trade is surprising from the A's point of view, last year GM Billy Beane started another rebuilding cycle and they don't seem ready for an expensive All-Star just yet...

Bad Altitude: Quite a Haul
So we have a better idea now of the players the Rockies will receive from Oakland in the Matt Holliday trade, although not a complete one. There are physicals still to come and there is also a chance that Dan O'Dowd may flip the only guy with abig-league profile, reliever Huston Street, for further prospects. Street's presence in the trade saves it from being a complete disaster...
DAMN YOU COLORADO!
DAMN YOU COLORADO.... That pretty much makes the previous post useless.... Why?Colorado aren't likely to trade both Holliday AND Atkins in the same offseason and it looks like Greg Smith is in the deal, which would mean the Rockies have a starting pitcher..However.. Aaron Laffey, Greg Smith and Francisco replacing Holliday.. Meh, could be a nice start for them....Anyway........
